Pineapple Express
Includes Both Theatrical (112 mins) and Extended Versions (117 mins) of the Film
A new comedy from the creative genius of Judd Apatow (40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Talladega Nights) follows a pair of druggie losers as they reach the top of the hit-list when one witnesses a mob murder and drags his buddy into a crazy flight from mobsters bent on silencing both of them permanently. The film stars new sensation Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad, 40-Year-Old Virgin) and James Franco (Spider-Man 1-3) and it co-stars Rosie Perez (Do The Right Thing) and Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie). The movie is directed by David Gordon Green (Snow Angels).

Fun for the Cheech and Chong Set - canuck2
James Franco steals the show in this comedy about slackers looking to score weed and landing in all kinds of trouble. Seth Rogen plays his usual self but it's the supporting characters, most notably Franco, Danny McBride and Ed Begley Jr. that give this film extra zing. Profane and ridiculous to be sure but head and shoulders above the average comedy. Ignore the first ten minutes and then settle in for a wacked out comedy.Pineapple Express - SlayerGal
I thought for sure that I wouldn't enjoy this movie because it just looked way too stupid...
However, stupid is apparently really funny! The escapades these two 'innocent' guys go through is bound to keep you laughing throughout the film. I wouldn't suggest it for the traditionally minded individuals, but for every else, it's a great find.My expections were too high. - MyBlackDog
As a fan of Seth Rogen and anything Judd Apatow I was really looking forward to Pineapple Express. It was funny, but I think it was the victim of high expectations. I enjoyed this movie from top to bottom, it is a great buddy comedy with fun action sequences but not as good as I was expecting. It's no Superbad.
The highlight for me was Danny McBride who plays James Franco's supplier "Red". I went in knowing very little about Danny McBride other then seeing him in "Tropic Thunder" but came out of the film wanting to know a lot more. He is an up and coming comedy star.
See this movie- you'll enjoy it! Just don't go in expecting it to be funnier then Superbad.
I rate this film a 3 out of 5
